Here are some warm up games for you to play with your family members, family friends and friends at home: Hope you all enjoy them!!! The Clock Game: (Early Stage 1) In this game, all children stand in a full circle on a grass field and the teacher/adult selects three children to carry a ball. These three children will all run at the same time to the centre of the circle where three witches hat cones is placed. After stopping here, each child hands over the ball to each other from the right side and runs directly back to their initial spot in the circle and hands over the ball again to the child from their right side and the process continues until everyone has a turn. This game should take around 10-12 minutes as to complete. Chasing within the Island Game: (Stage 2) This is a tag game, but when caught the child must go to the inner oval shape of the game. All children are divided into two separate groups with a pair of coloured tags for their team colour. For instance, one group with green coloured tags and the opposing team with blue tags. The children then need to stand within the witches hat cones of the inner oval and face towards the outer oval. After the teacher /adult whistles, the children run and grab the opposite coloured tags to their own from others (in another team). The student who loses both tags stands inside the inner oval. This game happens within the outer oval boundary and continues until one last person who has not lost both tags is declared the winner. This game should take approximately 9-15 minutes to complete. The Zig Zag Race: (Stage 1) The teacher/adult pairs two children into a group and a rope will be tied on these two childs ankles to connect the two of them together. Two separate groups will race against each other by following the witchs hat cones positions which is forming a zig zag shape. The team who finishes making a zig zag shape first is declared as winner. The duration of this game should take around 15 minutes to complete.

The throwing ball challenge game: (Stage 3) The teacher/adult divides the children into two different teams with a colour shirt on, e.g. one green team and a blue team. Inside the witchs hat cones boundary, each team stands in their positions on opposite sides of the space. One team member from each group stands next to one of the goals (in the centre of the space) in an opposite side to their own team space to stop the ball coming into the net. The teacher /adult then whistles to commence the game and students are to throw the ball to the student in their team to be able to catch it. If he/she doesnt catch it and the ball falls onto the ground, the opposing team has the ball. The students can move anywhere within the space and either team who achieves two goals is the winning team. The duration of this exercise is 15 minutes to complete.
